The JSL Cookbook II

The New JSL Cookbook is finally here! It is a revamp of the old Cookbook to offer recipes that are more accessible and general.

 

On the main page you’ll see four sections: Appetizers, Main Courses, Side Dishes, and Desserts. In general, the sections will go from basic to advanced. Appetizers will be used for recipes about fundamental tools in JSL, like Script Window and the Debugger. The focus won’t be on code writing, but things to help you write code better and faster. The center of attention in Main Courses will be JSL objects: tables, journals, platforms, etc., as well as basic input-output. While many of the operations in this section will become simpler as the Action Recorder develops, there will always be a need to tweak automatically generated code. Side Dishes gets into some of the nuts and bolts of JSL, things like looping, branching, error trapping, and so on. Recipes that take your JSL skills to the next level will be found here. Finally, the Desserts section will contain recipes going above and beyond everyday scripting. Here you’ll find items covering both advanced topics and JSL based JMP applications, such as the Application Builder.

 

Here are the starting nine recipes in the Cookbook:

The New Cookbook is meant to be a living document. In the coming months we will be adding more recipes, tagged topics, and resources links. We will use this blog as place to post questions and comments about the Cookbook. We would also like to encourage you to submit your recipe for inclusion into the Cookbook. We ask for the completed code and recipe instructions, similar to what you currently see attached to the recipes. The documents should be editable. You don’t have to record yourself performing the recipe.

 

That’s it for now. Hope you enjoy. Bon Appetit!
